Schmidt: Cory Booker’s Watching the Inauguration Thinking ‘This Could Be Me Someday’

‘What’s true about American politics and the perpetual campaign cycle is the next campaign will begin very shortly’

SCHMIDT: "You have figures, Hillary Clinton, John McCain, who have to sit and watch this and think powerfully what if, of their moment in history, but also future contenders for the office. You saw Cory Booker, more than a few members of the Senate, a few governors up there in the Democratic Party that are watching this program unfold thinking this could be me someday. What’s true about American politics and the perpetual campaign cycle is the next campaign will begin very shortly if it hasn't already begun."
